Actress Beverley Mitchell and her husband Michael Cameron are expecting their first child together.

The former 7th Heaven star confirmed her pregnancy news to People. Beverley, who is due in April, says that she was experiencing an increase in her sense of smell before she found out the big news. “My sense of smell was off the charts, to the point where I could smell a kid’s dirty nappy from the other side of a restaurant.” When she went in, she was hard to convince that she was expecting a bundle of joy. “I was like, ‘No, it can’t be that’. I took seven pregnancy tests. I went to the doctor and had two more tests and they were like, ‘Bev, usually when the first one comes out positive, the rest of them will all say the same thing.’”

Beverley and Michael tied the knot in Italy in 2008. She just returned from celebrating her fourth anniversary there and also attending former 7th Heaven co-star Jessica Biel’s wedding to Justin Timberlake. Jessica had the honour of being among the first to know about Beverley’s pregnancy. “Jess was one of the first to know [the baby news]. I started crying. It was really exciting to share that with Auntie Jess.”
